About Marjory McMenemy

Hi, My name is Marj. I am Scottish but currently live in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I enjoy life in the UK however it is very nice to have a home from home in North Cyprus, for whenever I feel the urge for warm sunshine, beautiful views and peace & quiet.

I fell in love with North Cyprus the 1st time I visited: the summers are hot and dry and winters are mild, medieval castles dot a rustic landscape, the people are warm and hospitable and you can enjoy a wide range of Middle Eastern, Turkish & Cypriot dishes. The infrastructure and coastline is developing, but the area remains incredibly beautiful and unspoilt.

Favourite areas are the Karpaz peninsula, where the beaches are quiet, sand is soft and golden and sea is turquoise coloured, and Alagadi beach where loggerhead and green turtles come ashore in May/June to lay their eggs and baby turtles hatch in the summer. I am lucky to have great managers onsite to provide help with my guests, plus provide information on the local area and other services, such as shopping on arrival.

There are a number of great bars and restaurants close to my apartment now, including Roots bar (Caribbean, live music), Almond Tree restaurant (well recommended for great food) among others.

If you have not visited North Cyprus before I am sure you will love it as much as me. In order to see the island, you will need to hire a car/jeep to explore.

Marjory McMenemy purchased this apartment in 2007

Why Marjory McMenemy chose Kyrenia Region

I thought it might be a good place to retire to (a few years off yet!) as English is widely spoken, the climate is lovely & the area is pretty much under-developed and unspoilt.

So, I invested off-plan in an apartment & have watched the site develop from a field into a lovely, quiet holiday complex, with some very nice facilities (restaurant and outside bar, petanque pitch, putting practice area, swimming pools, children's pool and play area). Despite the facilities, Crystal Bay Marina remains a lovely, friendly and peaceful place to relax and enjoy time out. I would love other people to experience my apartment & discover their own favourite places in North Cyprus.

To see the best of the island, & get the most from your holiday, you really need to hire a jeep & take off into the mountains or down the coast. There are some fabulous historic sites, quiet and stunningly beautiful beaches & breathtaking views.
